My dear Fellow, Gentlemen sup at EVANS', Covent-garden. The Marchioness of Londonderry and her among these present was that she was not present to com plete what he might designate a happy and very numerous family. (Jheers.) He dwelt on the necessity there was for the existence of good feeling between landlord and tenant, and eloquently pointed to the result of that, as it operated among the vast body of tenants composed of those he saw befors him, and those they represented. (Prolonged cheering.) Mr. PATRICK O'NEIL, a tenant farmer, rose and asked permission to propose a toast—" The health of the Mar chioness of Londonderry." (Cheers.) He said—l have taken the liberty of giving this health, and there is not on the estate a single tenant who would not receive it with the enthusiasm which it has evoked in this crowded hall. (Cheers.) We have in this country many noble and very fair-dealing landowners, and yet I have no hesitation in say ing that but few of them could be compared with our own lady of the soil, and certainly not one of them could excel her as regards the many virtues which go to make up a good landlord or a good landlady. (Cheers.) In this assuredly it seems superfluous that I should attempt to enumerate her good qualities. I will merely say that she is kind, good, and most warmly devoted to the welfare of her tenantry. She is always accessible to our wants and our wishes, and although she does not live amongst us, her best wishes and unceasing exertions for goad are directed to this estate. (Cheers.) I believe that she feels deeply sorry at being unable to make her usual visit this season; and I am sure we will all most heartily join in the prayer that the cause of her absence may be removed. (Applause.) I now give you " The health of our noble and illustrious Landlady—may she live long to continue her good course, and shed a lustre on the circle of society in which she moves." (Tremendous cheering.) The CHAIRMAN said—On behalf of the Marchioness of Londonderry, I have to return my sincere thanks to my friend, Mr. O'Neil, the proposer, and to you, my friends, for the enthusiastic manner in which you have:received the health of her ladyship. I shall not fail to convey to her lads ship the expression of feeling the toast has called forth, which, I am sure, will be appreciated as the gene rous and warm-hearted response of an attached, a brave, industrious, and loyal tenantry. (Applause.) 1 have lately received a letter from her, which I shall now read. The speaker then read as follows : Tenantry. KINAHAN'S LL WHISKY v. COGNAC, BRANDY. This celebrated Old IRLSII WHISKY rivals the finest FRENCH BRANDY, It i Pure, Mild, Mellow, Delicious, and very Wholesome. Sold In Bottles, 3s. Bd., at the Retail Houses in London ; by the Agents in the prin3ipal towns in England ; or wholesale at (From the Belfast Yews-Letter.) On Thursday afternoon the Marchioness of Londonderry gave her annual dinner in the Town-hall, Glanlaugh, near Glenarm, to her tenantry on the extensive estate in which that village is situated, For a good many years back her ladyship has pursued this laudable custom, and she took advantage of the reunions to administer personally to her tenantry sound and philosophical advice on a variety of subjects, social and agricultural. The good which has thus been accomplished is incalculably great. The prospe rity, content, and general good character of the tenants are proverbial, and the manner in which the noble landlady recognises the relations which should invariably exist be tween landowners and their tenantry is too well known to need even a word of reference here. Suffice it to say that she cares for her tenantry with feelings strikingly akin to maternal instinct. Her exalted rank does not deter her from knowing her tenants personally, nor does Isle deem it beneath her to study agriculture and the resources of her estate for their benefit. Then, again, the education of their children is a matter which this noble lady regards as one of primary importance. Her solicitude for the accial well being of the tenants developes itself in projects for their amelioration which none but one earnestly devoted to their interests ;would ever think of. The poet sweetly sings, " Kind hearts are more than coronets." Here we have a union of these and a noble spectacle—the practical life of a great and good woman cherishing the noblest principles, and cultivating the purest affections on behalf of a numerous tenantry attached beyond expression to her. And what has been the result of this fostering care ? Peace, prosperity, and contentment reign among the peasantry, and under such favourable auspices they have progressed and im proved rapidly. The commission of a g rarian crimes on this estate would be regarded pretty much as ra vages by Polar bears in the Torrid Zone. The tenants ap pear to appreciate their landlady's efforts on their behalf, and willingly take their important part in the development of her ably-conceived and well-considered schemes. Un happily, indisposition prevented her ladyship from attend ing the dinner whiCh she provided with unprecedented magnificence, on Thursday. Instead of the much-looked for and able speech, a letter, which will be read with great in terest, was received from her. She took good care, how ever, that her princely hospitality should not suffer from her absence, and the dinner was both recherche and sub stantial. Wines, whisky, and ale were supplied ad libitum. The arrangements, which were carried cut under the super vision of Richard Wilson, Esq., the agent, were very com plete, and the comfort of the guests was subscrved in every conceivable way. The capacious hall was splendidly deco raeed with evergreens, mottos, flags, and a variety of de vices. The Londonderry Arms was conspicuously exhi bited. Three rows of tables traversed the room lengthwise, save in ono place, where a row next the wall was divided by a dais for the visitors not tenants. Shortly after one o'clock, about 250 well-dressed and evidently well-to-do tenants sat down to dinner. They represented 22 town lands. To each set of representatives a special place was assigned, denoted by a small coloured fanner elevated on the table, and having inscribed on it the tame of the town land. In this way the sociality of the festve scene was en hanced. The preparation of the chatter must have taxed to the utmost the resources of Mr. M , Callum, of the Londonderry Arms Hotel, wio supplied it; and it should be mentioned that he die3harged his duty most creditably. 'The following, among other visitors, at tended and dined at the festive board so liberally supplied by the donor:—Richard Wilson, Esq., it the chair; Rev. D. C. Courtenay, Glenarm ; Rev. Hugi Waddell, P.M. ; Rev. P. Starkey, P.P. ; Captain Wethcred, Belfast ; Dr, Cassidy, Belfast ; John Townley, Esq , Irumnasole ; Wm. Orr, Eaq., Ballymena; Isaac Hardy, 3sq., Camlough ; Richard Halloran, Esq., Hugh Martin, Esq. The whole scene was characterised by great good foaling and jollity; each tenant was evidently in the very nest humour with himself and every one else. The happines of the company, however, was dashed with a universallyfelt regret at the absence of the dispenser of the hospitalty. Mr. Wilson, the widely and deservedly-esteemed agent, did everything he could to make up for the marked watt. When dinner had been disposed of, The CHAIRMAN rose amid much awlause and said, 8, GREAT WINDMILL-STREET, W. Observe the Red Seal, Pink Label, and Cork branded ,Kinahan's LL Whisky."

"My dear Mr. Wilson,—l have requested you to give the dinner, that you may have an opportunity of meeting the tenantry, and assuring them of my unfailing interest in their welfare. " It has been a source of great disappointment and regret to me that my health prevented my visiting Ireland this year. and I trust and hope that I may be permitted to do so in 1861. But on this my friends may rely that, whether I am absent or with them in the Green Isle, the warm corner they occupy in my heart is ever the same, and will remain unchanged while life lasts. " After this assurance I must say a word or two on busi ness, and, in the first place, observe that it is a source of congra t u l a tion that, after three successive bad seasons, the injury to the grain consequent on the very wet season has been comparatively small, and the return is likely to be an average one. "The increase in the cultivation of flax is also satisfac tory, having risen since 1859 from 76 to 240 acres. But it it is to be regretted that in several instances Wproper system of cultivation has notbecn observed ; and I cannot comment too severely on the pernicious habit adopted of taking not only two, but in some cases three successive crops, thereby exhausting the soil, which in the end must prove ruinous to the tenant. "I would strongly advise the tenantry to study the in structions issued by the North-East Agricultural Society for the cultivation of this crop and the preparation of it for the market. A copy of this work will be supplied to each tenant on application, and from a perusal of it much valu able information will be derived, "I abandoned the giving premiums from finding it did not stimulate the mass of the tenantry to improve, and that they were year after year awarded to nearly the same per. sons • but as I am desirous of encouraging merit, 1 may mention that the names of Joseph M'Cullen, of Stoney-hill, and Francis Carlisle, of Ballyvaddy, have been brought be fore me, the former as an instance of what good cultivation can do, and the second as having made wonderful exertions in improving his house;and farm during the present year. " Several alterations are made, and are still in progress. in the sale or giving up of farms, and I think it would be well that the tenantry should understand that in every case where it is practicable, and the adjoining tenant has the means to purchase, such tenant shall have the preference of becoming the purchaser, and adding said farm to his original holding. "I also observe with regret a diminution!in the quantity of stock on the estate, which should be avoided if possible, more particularly by those who have a portion of mountain land attached to their farms, where stock can be raised with lit tle expense or trouble. "I am glad to hear the schools are tolerably well-attended and in a fair state of efficiency, with the exception of the one at Garron Tower; and I wish to impress upon the parents the loss their children would sustain if the Nal Board withdrew the grant or reduced the salary of the master, as is now threatened, unless the average atten dance be increased. " I cannot conclude without grateful words to yourself and Mrs. Wilson, expressing my sense of your bind feelings to the tenantry and your sterling devotion to me; and under all the regrets caused by my forced absence, I have the consolation of knowing that my tenantry cannot be bet ter cared for than under your fostering supervision, of which they, like me, have had the experience of 12 or 14 years. " With all best wishes for your health and happiness, and trusting to your continued future improvements and advancements, I remain, dear Mr. Wilson, yours truly. " FRANCES ANNE VANE LONDONDERRY," [The reading of the foregoing letter was frequently inter rupted by the most enthusiastic applause. Several times the whole assembly rose to their feet simultaneously and cheered right lustily.] The CHAIRMAN continued—Such is the letter I have received from your landlady, which, as regards Mrs. Wilson and myself, however much wo appreciate her ladyship's good opinion, I fear we do not merit such distinction. I h,:ve endeavoured to act fairly towards her and her tenantry —(cheers)—and)—and in doing so I have merely done my duty. The letter' breathes much warmth of feeling towards you, and contains .7ouud and practical advice, particularly as to the education of ) our children, the necessity and propriety of which no person ix, the present day will deny ; and I am sure it will be received by you in the same spirit in which it is given, as you cannot In: a moment doubt the sincerity of the source from which it c0m,78. (Cheers.) lam aware the district around Garronpoint s cLool is thinly populated ; but I am of opinion a much better atte:idance could be kept up if parents would make the education th e their children o paramount importance, instead of a secondary - consideration. With respect to the remarks her ladyship has made as to flax cultivation there can be no question. In the tZ,irections given by the North-East Agricultural Society alluJed to (copies of which I shall supply on application), it is ex pressly stated that "flax on no account should be grow.'' oftener than once in five years, and once in seven or ten years is considered safer ;" and recollect this is the matured opinion of practical men who have made the flex crop their study in all its branches. (Hear, hear.) To many of you these observations are unnecessary, as there are several places on the estate where the cultivation of this crop could not be excelled; but now that flax has become such an im portant article of consumption, some few practical hints may be of service to the generality of the tenants. I again thank you for the enthusiastic manner in which you have received this toast, and I nbw call upon you for one cheer more for that landlady whose most anxious wish is to hand down unsullied to posterity that banner on which is in scribed the feeling and charitable inscription of " Live and ,et live." Gentlemen, we are assembled here at the invitation of the Marchioness of Londonderry. (Cheers) Though deprived of the pleasure of her ladyship's presence, I hope 3ou will enjoy yourselves fully to-day. At the ortset I should tell you that, when I was lately in England, Lady Londonderry expressed her unfeigned regret that indisposition had pre vented her paying her usual visit to Ireland, and that, sepa rated as she is by distance, she still retains the warmth of feeling towards her tenantry she has always cherished. (Loud cheers.) As she could not visit you. she has desired me on this occasion to express her regret that she cannot be with you, and to wish you all a happy new year, accompanied. with favourable seasons, good crops, abundant harvest, and remunerative prices, and above all she prays that the blessing of the Almighty may rest upon your endeavours, as without God's blessing all our labours are vain and futile. (Applause.) The speaker concluded by giving "The Queen," a toast which was responded to with all the honours. The next toast on the list was "The Prime and Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." In proposing it, the CHAIRMAN said—The Prince of Wales has now attained to the age when he may be expecte' tce enter upon the duties of active life, and has also unites himse2.f to an amiable and accomplished Princess, which union we Lope may prove a blessing to themselves and to all around them, (Applause.) From our knowledge of the prince, and the admirable way he has been brought up, under the unweary. ing care and superintendence of the wisest and best of parents, we have every reason to hope and expect that he will prove a comfort and stay to our below& Sovereign, and that, with the advantage of her counsel and experience, he may learn to be a fitting successor to her weep, in the Pro vidence of God, he may become the ruler of this g indepen d e nt nation. (Cheers.)reat and The CHAIRMAN then gave "The Church. and Clergy of all Denominations." This toast, he said, on all former occasions, when a meeting took place under similar circum stances, had been received with that unanimity and good feeling which should characterise every Christian assembly ; and he was sure it would meet with a similar reception on the present occasion. (Loud cheers.) Rev. Mr. Column/eel( responded. He said he supposed that to the toast was devolved up on h was oar of the greyest and oldest men pri h s e t nt e duty present. becauselvh of Whatever e p t r e e v e lin r was the cause, he rose with much pleasure to reply. It was to him a most gratifying sight to see so ma ny respectable farmers assembled to take part in the festivities provided by their noble landlady. (Cheers.) When he looked around him, he saw men of very different opinions sitting comfortably at the same table—a most pleasing sight. It was well that they hid learned to forget their differences, and to agree as to the great common principle which should distinguish all Christian people — mutual forbearance. (Cheers.) One of the characteristic principles of his Church was forbearance and liberality, and that same principle was one of the conspicuous merits of which the noble Constitution under which we live was .) Refugees came to the countries for tmhaedheonmp. (C home a nd h th ee e r p 6 eace they had failed to discover in their own. The rev. gentleman, in the course of his observa tions, remarked that the clergy did much and should do more to promote peace and harmony among those with whom they came in contact. In conclusion, he urged the tenants to continued co-operation in the attainment of th ese common objects. (Applause.) The CHAIRMAN —I now give you "The Army and Navy." I n proposing this toast I refrain from using the stereotyped and hacknied expression about their efficiency and readiness for duty whensover and wheresover called. I think we will admit that. But without in the slightest detracting from thehigh character of the array, I may be per mitted to express my opinion, that the navyis not known or appreciated in the manner such a force deserves. It is to this force we are indebted for our supremacy on the sea and the high rank we hold in the scale of nations. (Cheers.) With out the navy where would that supremacy be? The army is to be seen at every provincial town or Owe of conse quence, open to the view of the admiring gaze; but we o. landsmen see nothing of the nav y unl ess on Boma s p ecial f the w or ld a fl oat was to be seen t occasion such as the late Visit from the Channel Flee a l f f t o h r e d r e e t r when ey s if p i e t e w i m a s e n possible,to bring the nevy oftener before the public, it would be more appreciated. (Hear.) In addition to the present efficient state of the navy, there is another force little kno wn in this co untry — l all ude to the Naval Reserve— , ,applauso —a force ma de up of v olunteers from the several ports in England, and paid for their week's drill. Government prudently has enrolled this force that, in case of actual necessity, it has it resort to to elan the navy. I lately witnessed a party o f the Naval leeserve going through their exercises on board one of her Maieetf vessels, and it was really wonderful with what precisiOn and despatch these recruits went through their manoeuvres in exercising a gun of some tons weight, looking more like a body of old well-disciplined men of war than raw recruits. Allow me, therefore, to prop ose " The Arm y a nd N av y ,not forgetting the Naval Reser ve.' (Cheers.) R Capt. WETERED said, a s a member of one branch of the service,he would return thanks. He was not a sailor, he sail , but he was a soldier. He might say that he was half a sailor, because he had spent his young days upon the water. In the said he esteemed it a great course of an able and wittyataspoeecicahl,mwehieteinhgw.aslrtedpiedatoendel.ys p ap ri p v l i a l u eg d e ed t , o e b a e p p t r a e in se l n V t blethered privilege heart good to see so many gelling and joyful faces around the room.

Tt ^ , 4W a igiidaaw 1, 131 r. • • , • s- JO (*. ,• "'",, • The response was deafening. Dr. CASSIDY said—The toast which I have been re quested to propose is one that is sure of a cordial reception in Ireland; where the tenant-farmers are not only the most numerous class, but the chief source of the wealth and strength of the country ; and I am proud to find, in the happy and contented faces of so many here, that God speeds the plough in this district. (Cheers.) I ant sure, too, my friends, that it gives you no small pleasure to find that the noble lady and good woman—(loud cheers)—who is pro proprietor of this estate, has your welfare at heart, and that, even when failing health prevents her attendance in person among you, she is not unmindful of your in terests, and seeks to reach yen with words of com• fort, of hope, and of advice, such as we have heard this day. (Cheers.) It is true that the ties which bind landlord to tenant on this estate are of no ordinary kind, as, for three centuries, you and your forefathers have been living under Lady Londonderry and her ancestors. (Cheers.) Yet it is not the less acceptable to find those ties distinctly recog nised, and a continuance of the personal good-feeling and hospitality which were wont to characterise the relations between landlord and tenant in the olden time. (Cheers.) My friends, we have had a great deal to contend with during a succession of seasons, by which, in the dispensation of Providence, much individual suffering and a heavy drain upon the resources of the country have been occasioned ; but it is a mistake to suppose that the pressure has of late years been exclusively, or I might, perhaps, say chiefly confined to the agricultural interest. You must have seen the newspapers teeming with accounts of the difficulties with which the manufacturing classes have had to contend not only in England, but in this part of Ireland, a great many of which, I regret to say, have fallen under my own observation. However, the sun has shone out once more during the early part of the past year, and trade has revived, and, with the blessing of Providence, which in His mercy generally sends a succession of good seasons after a succes sion of bad ones, we trust that comfort and plenty will soon be diffused through the land. As men of brave hearts and firmness of purpose, it be hoves us to look forward hopefully to the future, with full confidence that a blessing will attend the efforts of honest industry, and that they will not be left without their reward. (Loud cheers.) Dr. Cassidy concluded by giving the toast of " The Tenant Farmers." Rev. Mr. IV ADDELL replied to the toast, which was re ceived with protracted cheering. He referred to the energy a nd perseverance of Irishmen, and remarked that there were anomalies existing between them and their landlords in some parts of Ireland, The tenantry under the Marchioness PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. of Londonderry were most prosperous. (Cheers.) They were blessed with a good landlady—(hear, hear) —greatly superior to others of their classes in Ireland that he could name. Mr. Wilson, their agent, was pre-eminently a man of his word, and while he watched with peculiar care over the interests of his employer, ho had at the same time an ear ready to hear and a heart and hand ready to redress a grievance that even the humblest tenant on the estate might labour under. ([fear, hear, and applause.) The rev. gentleman concluded by proposing the health of the chairman. The toast was drunk in bumper glasses. The CHAIRMAN thanked the proposer of the toast and the company for the very cordia: manner in which his health had been received. He proposed " The Visitors who have honoured us with their presence." (Cheers.) Capt WETHERED returned thanks, and in doing so said —I feel not as a visitor at all at these proceedings. I am inclined to regard this festivity with more of homely feel ings. So happy do all the tenants appear to be, that I con fess I feel .a sort of desire to be living among you. A VOlCE—There is not a doubt but that we are con tented. (Loud cheers.) Capt. WETYIERED—I believe so most positively. There are men who assert that it is impossible for the pea santry to be contented and happy in our country under existing circumstances. (No, no.) If such persons would visit this part of the country, they would soon ascertain that the contrary was the fact—(applause)—and that a state of things exists which is alike creditable to the landowner and the tenants. (Hear, hear.) I see you all here comfortable and merry. I have no occasion to ask the question whether you are prosperous or not. I might contrast this scene with others that I have witnessed in the South of this country. From what I know, I would say that the people of the North are more energetic, more go-a-head, more progres sive, more easily induced to put desirable inventions and discoveries to important uses—in short, they are more ready to take advantage of what is for their own interests than aro the people of the South. (Hear.) Here you can introduce im provements among farmers with comparative ease. And here I wish to say that I don't agree with those who laud one landlord or one agent to the depreciation of others. (Hear, hear.) There are many difficulties that both land lords and agents have to encounter, which are happily un known perhaps in the North, and instead of which are to be found blessings which you cannot fully comprehend. In some places the facts are vastly different. I have lived a good deal in the South. The people there are of a class different from those found in the North. They are very difficult to deal with. (Hear.) They have, comparatively speaking, no de sire to improve; they will not enter upon any new line of improvement, I will give you an instance. I remember, on one occasion during the famine, when the people had no employment of their own, and no potatoes, nor was the seed attainable, I was passing a hut, in the roof of which there was a great hole. This was in a Southern district. There was some straw lying about the place, and there was a little garden greatly neglected, which was connected with the house. Well, I was struck with the utterly neglected ap pearance of the place and the number of facilities that were at hand for improving it; and I asked the man who was standing at the door, with a great big "lump of a son," ,as the people there would have said, doing nothing, " Why don't you do something to improve the condition of the ground and the hut for your family ? New that you at o receiving relief without payment, you should do some thing." Oh, bedad, Sir, what would you have me to do? be asked in reply. I told him. He refused to dig his garden because the potatoes were gone ; he refused to plant anything else, because nothing but potatoes would do for Ireland ; and he refused to mend his hut because, as he , said, that his father and grandfather lived in it, and he did not want to have a better house than they had. (Hear, and laughter.) After referring to several kindred matters, the speaker concluded amid applause. " The Ladies " succeeded on the list of toasts. Dr. CASSIDY responded to the toast in a humorous speech, which elicited much applause and laughter. The company separated, cheering for their munificent ,ndlady. Director, Mr. P. Jonghmans.

THE NAVY. • Orders have been issued to prepare the following arma ment for each of the iron-clad frigates Minotaur, Agin court, and Northumberland :—Upper deck, four 100 pounder guns (61 tons each) ; main deck, four 300 pounder guns (12 tons each), and 18 100 pounders of the same weight and description as the upper deck 100 pounders. All the guns, both on the main and upper decks, will b 3 mounted on slide carriages. The three frigates which figure in the Navy List as 38 gun ships will thus, in fact, carry only 26 guns each. A naval court-martial assembled on board her Majesty's ship Victory at Portsmouth on Saturday, and again by adjournment yesterday for the trial of Lieut. Frederick W. Inglefield, lately invalided from her Majesty's screw troop ship Tamar, on a charge of having been guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer in drinking intoxicating liquors to such an excess between the 12th of November and the 7th of December, 1863, as to produce illness, by which he was incapacitated for the performance of his duty on the 10th December, 1863. The prosecution failed to prove its case, and the Court, therefore, found the charge not proved, and acquitted Lieut. Inglefield. The Lyra, 9, screw corvette, Commander Parr, was officially inspected yesterday at Spithead by Vice-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.B , and will sail to-day for Ma __ deira and the Cape of Good Hope. The Hector, iron frigate, Capt. G. W. Pready, C. 8,, will be docked in the Warrior dock at Portsmouth to-day. Four of her 95cwt 68 pounder guns, with their carriages, two from each of the extreme ends of her main deck bat tery, have been taken out, together with her spare coppers, topmasts, and other heavy spare gear, in order to lower the line of flotation. For a vessel of such large tonnage the Hector is wonderfully sensitive under the distribution and alteration of her weights. Commodore Hugh Dunlop, C. 8., having assumed the duties of his appointment in Woolwich dockyard, yesterday left Woolwich on leave of absence. The three 20 ton muzzle loading rifled guns manufactured at Lowmoor to the order of Captain Blakely, and success fully tested at Woolwich, for the service of the Russian Government, have been shipped in the Victoria Docks for St. Petersburg. The fourth gun, in which a rent was dis covered in the jacket at the extremity of the breech piece, produced by its being too tightly shrunk on, is to be re turned to the factory and repaired. The Research, 4, 1,253 tons, 200 horse power, the first of the squadron of iron clad vessels now building from the designs of Mr. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Navy, was successfully undockel at Pembroke on Saturday, with the whole of her armour plating complete, and her engines and boilers on board. With her iron masts fitted and jury rigged, and all her armour plating on, and about 100 tons of ballast on board, the Research only drew 12ft. 2in., and when complete, with the whole of her fitments, crew, stores, and provisions, and ready for sea, she will draw less than 14ft., and will consequently be capable of entering any har bour in almost any part of the world. The Research is com pletely cased up to the upper deck with 41 inch armour, and will be a full rigged seagoing ship. According to existing arrangements she will leave Pembroke dock for Davenport on Saturday next, in charge of Captain H. Paul, assistant master attendant at that dockyard, and will there be fitted for sea with all possible despatch. A new plan has been adopted in the armour plating of the Research to prevent galvanic action, according to a system introduced by Mr. Reed, and the first vessel of the fleet of ironclads so treated. This consists in completely sheathing the armour plating below the water line with teak planking,which will have the effect of preserving the armour from all galvanic action and corrosion, and will enable the Research to be despatched on foreign service for a lengthened period withconfidence. She will carry only four guns, but these will be the 110 pounder Armstrortgs, the arrangements for fitting which on board are now being carried out under the superintendence of Mr. Napier, from Woolwich Arsenal. The completion of the Research will be followed speedily by that of the Enterprise, which is somewhat less heavily armour cased than the former vessel. The iron cased screw steamship Royal Oak, 35, Capt. F. A. Campbell, in Plymouth Sound, has been swung for the final adjustment of her compasses. The paddlewheel steam sloop Salamander, 6, Commander the Hon. John Carnegie, having on Saturday morning em barked additional marines and supernumeraries, left Ply mouth Sound in the afternoon for her destination, Australia. The screw steam gunboat Hind (tender to the Coastguard ship Russell), having embarked stores at the Davenport dockyard, left Plymouth Sound on Saturday for Plymouth. THE ARMY. The command of the Royal Artillery in the Chathem district will shortly become vacant by the retirement of Col. w . R. Nedham, on the completion of his five years' period of service.

SHAKSPEARE CELEBRATION, An adjourned meeting of the Shakspeare com• mittee was held in the Rooms of the SJciety of Arts, Ade]phi, yesterday afternoon. Mr. George Godwin was unanimously requested to take the chair. Mr. HEPWORTII DIXON, hon. sec., read the mi nutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed. Mr. THEODORE MAItTIN complained of the pub lication of the report in the newspapers, and of its being put forward as the act of the committee, although an opinion was expressed at the last meet ing that such a document ought not to go forth to the public. It was generally znderstood that they were to adjourn till to-day for the purpose of consi dering whether they should adopt it or not. How ever, to his surprise, and he believed to the surprise of most others, it appeared in the papers with the names of the secretaries attached. (Hear.) Such a proceeding was an outrage upon all propriety, and was a breach of trust of the most serious kind on the part of their representatives—or, rather, mis representatives. He did not know whether it had the sanction of the executive committee. It also appeared not as the draft report, but as the report of the committee. It was an outrageous act, and contrary to all precedent. It was a matter which affected the whole corporation, and it was for the general committee to say whether they would allow such things to go on. As he came there to advance and not retard matters, he begged to ask by whose authority the report was published. Mr. H. DIXON said that the report was read at the last meeting, and circulated for information. Mr. Martin must recollect that the reporters were present at the last meeting, and were able to take the report verbatim. Two of the reporters asked him for a copy, to save themselves the trouble of writing it out. Mr. MARTIN was not satisfied with the explana- tion. Mr. TOMLINS said that the reporters could have Laken it if they wished. iZtr. MARTIN proposed, "That the report read at the last meeting of the committee be rejected, and that a special committee be appointed to prepare an address to be issued to the public, stating the objects contemplated by the committee, and the means by which it is proposed to carry them out." The CHAIRMAN said that, in order to avoid dis eussion upon the question, and that they might proceed to other business, he would, on behalf of the executive committee, withdraw the report. (Hear, and No.) Mr. MARTIN replied that it must be publicly known that the report was published without the authority of the committee. A mere withdrawal did not meet the case. Mr. GRUNEISEN thought it was a most irregular document which was sent forth. Mr. MARTIN was about to speak, when The CHAIRMAN said that they were not prepared to take any discussion upon the matter, as the re port had been withdrawn. Mr. MARTIN, however, pressed the first part of his motion, "That the report be rejected." If this was painful to gentlemen who sent out the report, they had themselves to blame for it. Mr. ROBERT BELL seconded the proposition. .Dr. WESTLAND MARSTON j rose to order, as the report had been withdrawn. Mr. R. BELL said that the report not only did a great many things which they ought not to do, but left undone a good many things which they ought to do. (Hear, hear.) It was requisite that some steps should be taken to liberate them from such mistakes in future. (Hear.) They must reorganise the movement upon a totally different basis, or abandon it altogether. (Hear, and No.) Air. DIXON pressed upon those present that there was some important business to transact. The meet ing was technically adjourned for the consideration of the report ; it was substantively adjourned on the general transactions of the day. It was therefore extremely desirable that they should end the discussion. The course taken was for the best, and he thought that it should be clearly un derstood that this movement was not at all hostile to the one in Stratford. (Hear, hear.) On the contrary, it was quite the reverse. He begged to move, as an amendment to Mr. Martin's proposition that they pass on to the business of the day. Mr. CHARLES READE seconded the amendmen, and in doing so said he for one did not think that the document was to have been sent out to the world, and it was unfortunate that it appeared in the columns of the newspapers. (Hear, hear.) He regretted that there had been imported into this matter any underlying, unfortunate, and terrihie'--% misconception. He entreated them to considerii-i&;;; tical questions—(hear)—and to put an end to'LB iij N v t t t misconceptions. Let them throw aside this re y ' and remit it to the committee, that they might pre:-.-. - Z pare an address. Mr. H. DIXON observed that there were two parties in the committee where there ought only to be one—(hear, hear)—and it wee desirable that ti e feeling should find expression in some form. lie thought Mr. Martin had fairly put his case. During an irregular discussion which followed, Mr. PURNELL moved, as as amendment, "That the committee accept the withdrawal by the execu tive committee of the report issued by the secre- arieb." Mr. S. LUCAS mid neither vote for the resolu ion nor the amendment, although he was of opinion that the report ought to be rejected. He w:s not prepared to pass an indirect vote of ceneurc, aud cause the executive committee to resign. Mr. D. COOPER expressed his opinion that there ought not to b 3 two parties, as the o'ljEct was a common one. They would be laughed at if they let these petty squabbles interfere with their pro- gress. The CHAIRMAN then put Mr. Dixou's amend ment, when there appeared 27 for it and 26 against it. Several gentlemen demanded that they should divide, which was done, but the two parties had to be taken before the actual numbers could be given, when there appeared 33 for the amendment and 34 against. It was consequently lost. Mr. OTTLEY seconded Mr. Purnell's amendment. Several gentlemen attempted to speak upon the amendment, and a somewhat irregular discussion arose, some contending that it was not in order to speak upon the amendment, and others that it Was perfectly in order to do so. Sir J. PAXTON—It cannot be put without allow ing a discussion upon it. Ultimately the chairman put the original resolu tion, " That the report read at the last meeting be rejected," when the numbers being 24 for and 27 against, there were cries of "Divide, divide." A division accordingly took place, and after both sides had been repeatedly counted, The CHAIRMAN declared that there were 33 for it and 32 against it, and consequently that the motion was carried by a majority of one. _ _ Mr. MARTIN, who said that he did so in no hostile spirit to the movement, then proposed the latter part of his resolution. It was desirable that inti mation should he given of what was proposed to be done, and whether 15,000 or 150,000 was required. Mr. BELL seconded the proposition. Dr. MARSTON referred to what the executive com mittee had done, and said that the list of names was a homage to Shakspeare. Dr. VAUGHAN ventured to predict that, if the meetings were to be of this complexion, their object was gone. (Hear, hear.) If the resolution were passed, the executive committee would resign, and they never could get the confidence of the country after that. (Hear.) They would be looked at as a very Babel, Let them work together better for the future. Mr. MARTIN then withdrew his motion, in order to further the common object amidst applause. Dr. VAUGHAN suggested that the executive com mittee should appoint a certain number, and the general committee a certain number, to draw up the address. (Hear.) Mr. H. DIXON then made a statement as to the progress of the business. Arrangements were being made for holding a public meeting at the Mansion House, at which the Lord Mayor would kindly take the chair. He (Mr. Dixon), on behalf of himself and colleagues, utterly disclaimed anything like personal feeling in the matter. (Hear.) It was thought desirable that the following committee should be appointed to arrange the details of the meeting : The Lord Chief Baron, Sir Hugh Cairns, Sergeant Parry, Mr. Gruneisen, and Mr. Deputy ed. It was also recommended that the following gentlemen should act as a committee for the purpose of considering the best form of a monument, viz., Archbishop of York, Duke of Devonshire, Earl of Clarendon, the Lard President of the Council, Pre sident of the Society of Antiquarie, President of the Academy,P resident of the Society of British Artists, President of :he Architectural Museum, Master of Trinity, Professor of 'Sculpture, Royal Academy, David Roberts, Daniel Maclise, Clarkson Stanfield, George Godwin. The council had also to propose the following programme :—" The 300th birth day of Shakspeare shall be celebrated by laying the first foundation-stone of a memorial in London. The committee shall use its influence to procure the observance of Sa turday, April 23, as a general holiday ; and they propose to offer a gold medal, silver medal, and bronze medal, for the best, second best, and third best poem on Shakspeare. The committee proposed that the foundation stone be laid at noon ; that an afternoon performance be given at Covent garden ; that a Shakspearian performance be given at Drury-lane in the evening ; and that a grand soiree be held (by permission) inWestminster-hall, at which Shakspearian books, prints, and other relics, may be exhibited." Alembers of the special committee were by that fact members of the council. Dr. Vaughan, Mr. Theo. Mar tin, Mr. Tom Taylor, and Mr. Shirley Brooks, were then appointed by the general committee to act with the executive committee. Upon the proposition of Mr. LUCAS, seconded by Capt. W. KNOWLES, the programme was accepted. It was understood, however, that, though the pro gramme had been accepted, the general committee would not publish it or act upon it until the address had been prepared. Mr. MARTIN said, if it were otherwise, he would not act. The meeting then adjourned until Monday. The Crystal Gallery, Egyptian Hall. The celebrated firm of J. Defries and Sons, crystal and bronze chandelier manufacturers, of 147, Houndsditch, city, have become the lessees of the Dudley Gallery, Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, with a view of placing before the public specimens of their unrivalled workmanship in table and other glass; and in order to render the splendid apartment appro priate to their object they have renamed it the Crystal Gal lery. A more gorgeous sight than that which was thrown open to the public gratuitously to-day has certainly never been seen in the metropolis, and it is to be hoped that the enterprising firm will depart from their present intention of merely keeping it open for a limited term, and allow it to become a permanence, because without doubt it is one of the most splendid and artistic exhibitions ever seen in this or any other country. The object, we believe, which led to the formation of the collection was the exhibition of one of five magnificent candelabra just completed for the Rajah of Secunderabad, and this surprising and wonderful specimen of British art stands towering in the centre of the gallery to the height of 22 feet. It is composed of three tiers or stages of cut and coloured glass, carrying 156 lights supported by arms and pillars of ruby, topaz, emerald, and sapphire tints, and surmounted by an imperial crown of the most gorgeous beauty. To give a detailed description of this rare and beautiful combination of crystals would be an impossibility. Nothing of the kind has ever been seen before, therefore comparison is out of the question. Around this une qualled specimen of British skill and ingenuity hang noble chandeliers of every variety of form and design, in silver, glass, ormulu, and bronze; whilst at the extreme end of the gallery is placed one of those magnificent prismatic mirrors, which excited the wonder of the thousands who visited the Exhibition of 1862. The presenticollection is not confined to chandeliers and candelabra, but there is a display of porcelains, china, table and dessert services, in cut glass, of the most exquisite and costly descrip tion. One of the grandest objects in this department is the Crimean tankard, which is really a wonderful speci men of fine art. Here, again, we have jugs, goblets, and tankards, elaborately engraved with subjects copied from the Elgin marbles; others moot artistically and delicately jewelled: others, again, engraved with some of the most striking scenes, illustrative of those classic stories which have been reproduced in the poetry of our own time. Amongst the dessert services in glass, there is one remark able for its chasleness'and beauty—viz., that plated at the extreme end of the middle table. It will be instantly re cognised bx the brilliancy of its cutting. A finer spos , l . l nr of crystal m nufacture has certainly neve r been e,shtir.:ll,:tein The tazzas and vases, again, fo rm another v feature in this extraordinary ex hibition, whichaencr:ouuslndeoarenldy have been produced by t he most refined taste g efries o their for outlay. We have to congratulatewAle es ee sr i s e n take not, n their appearance westward, where, if manufactures will create thewonder and delight.
